  • Absolutely beautiful

  • Lovely

  • Saw Marilyn some years ago in Pasadena. She didn't sing any Foster tunes,

    but she did sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for an encore.

    I read that Foster wrote this song for a young couple whose daughter

    was killed in a carriage accident. Just looked it up. There are conflicting

    stories.

    Tommy Makem also wrote a lovely song w/ the same title.

    Tnx 4 the melodious post.

  • i'm proud to be a mezzo

  • we are doin it for chorus to! pretty song but we arent doing it quite this slow...

  • we are doing it for chorus in school

  • We did this song for choir and it was beautiful.

  • Beautiful voice, beautiful song. Our ancestors understood the nature of loss better than we do, and they were not too embarrassed to express their feelings in a sincere and poignant song.
